5.4.10 Testing Connectivity
In this scenario, the IBM Network Station is able to start only 5250 sessions
and access the Web server, using NC Navigator, on the serving AS/400
system.
The server AS/400 system, in this scenario, also has a LAN card installed. If
the AS/400 system is configured as a mail server and has connectivity to the
Internet, the IBM Network Station can use NC Navigator to send and receive
Internet e-mail. For more information about using the IBM Network Station to
access mail, please refer to Chapter 8, “Using a Network Station to Access
Mail” on page 225.
5.4.11 Summary
This scenario installed a twinax subnet on an AS/400 system using an
isolated network of 10.10.10.0. Minimum configuration was performed on
each twinax IBM Network Station, including selecting a workstation address.
With the help of messages logged on the AS/400 server, an IP interface was
manually created for the automatically created QTDLC configuration.
Activating this interface allowed the IBM Network Station to complete the boot
up process.
Connectivity was tested by starting a 5250 session to the server AS/400
system and by accessing the IBM Network Station Manager program with NC
Navigator.
